Cannot login after installing "unavailable" plugin (2 posts)

    A colleague of mine set up a website on WordPress in April, and I have recently used a plugin to bring visitors to an 'under construction' page when they try to access it, as it is not yet ready.

    Unfortunately, this page has overwritten the login page that we were using. Previously, we all had separate login info, based on our usernames and e-mail addresses. These do not, however, work on the main WordPress login site.

    I have tried to login to the main wordpress site using the original e-mail from wordpress that was sent to me back in April. Unfortunately, however, I do not know the password that was originally used (it just says "Password: the one you chose during registration"), as someone else set the site up, and doesn't remember the password he used. Also, the site is telling me that the original username is invalid. It does, however, tell me that is will send me an e-mail when I use my individual admin password, but I haven't received any e-mails.

    Please let me know if you have any idea what's going on, or how I can fix this. The plugin I used can be found here: http://tech.gaeatimes.com/index.php/archive/wordpress-plugin-to-make-your-blog-temporarily-unavailable-for-maintenance/

    Thank you very much.

    I suggest that you start by resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin. If you're still having problems logging in with all plugins deactivated, see these resources:
